The following is a list of the absurd comments and questions that I compiled during my semester of Design I class. The best part of these statements is that they all made complete sense during the critiques while looking at different students’ art pieces. With an amazing professor and a class of 17 students, all having very different personalities, this compilation is very interesting to read.
1. “It has a bloopy thing going on with it. The kind of thing a mushroom cloud, a hamburger, an alien, and a carousel all have.”
2. "All I see are elf shoes.”
3. "Can I see your ‘hotdog’ one?”
4. "I like the fruit loop on Scooby Doo’s head.”
5. "I think it’s hilarious that it says ‘elbows.’”
6. "The mustache guy just looks so happy to be there.”
7. "It looks like a Swiss Roll…. A geometric Swiss Roll!!”
8. After being asked by the professor to repeat what the student had said less than 30 seconds prior: “I don’t even remember what I saying…. I was just talking.”
9. "That look a little too much like a loaf of bread.”
10. "The man looks so overly excited to be surrounded by macaroni.”
11. "Is that a metaphor for being pregnant?”
12. "There’s a lot of texture there, which will cause a problem. It’ll be like you’re trying to tape over a tiny mountain range.”
13. "It reminds me of the thing aliens use to suck objects off of Earth into their UFO.”
14. "Can someone please turn off the sun?”
15. "It looks like a piece that an old lady would pay a lot of money for."
Here's to the best Design I class and experience I could've asked for. And here's to you, Professor Neil. We loved you, even though we were probably the worst class you've ever had. Thank you for not killing us, or worse... failing us. #ProcrastinationNation
